How to Optimize my GPU for Cryptocurrency Mining? 4 Easy Steps

Daniel Hall GPU, Mining, Optimize 17th January 2026

Recently I have been looking at the best ways to Optimize my CPU and GPU for Cryptocurrency Mining. I have been mining as a hobby since 2013 and while i am a great self-proclaimed PC Computer builder, maybe not so good at deciding when to sell my bag of coins, hence why I am still here mining. So, as I mine at home I need my rigs to run on the least amount of electricity, produce the minimum amount of heat and noise but have the highest Hashrate possible. If you wish to Optimize your CPU Power Usage on your […]

Unlock MSI Afterburner Power Limit Voltage Slider – 48 Watt Saving Per Card

Daniel Hall 7th January 2026

If your MSI Afterburner Power Limit Slider is stuck, greyed out or just makes no difference at all when you change it? Well, this should solve your problems. Most Gaming GPU heads want to Overclock there GPUs to get extra speed (FPS) from them regardless of Power Consumption or Heat.  But when GPU Mining, we want to help reduce heat, save power and keep our GPUs working reliable for a long time, i have some GPUs that have been running for 2+ years 24/7 with no reduction in performance What Software do i need to UnderClock or OverClock my GPU?

Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 Rev 2.0 Low Hash Rate (LHR) 22-24MH/s – BIOS 90.04.63.80.0F

Daniel Hall BIOS, Gigabyte, LHR, Nvidia, RTX 2060 22nd December 2025

I reached 31.6MH/s @ 80w on a Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 Rev 2.0 with Hynix GDDR6 after a BIOS flash and some tweaking. It Started off with a very Low Hash Rate of 22MH/s so this was an amazing result. The Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 arrived today, this time a REV 2.0 card with BIOS 90.04.63.80.0F   Previously I have had REV 1.0 cards that have performed well but as I buy my cards online without seeing the box, it can be a bit “hit or miss” to what you actually yet. As of Dec 2021, GPU cards are still in […]

Raptoreum Coin – New Interest in CPU Mining

Daniel Hall 24th November 2025

Raptoreum Coin has seen some new interest over the pass few weeks with the huge increase in price going from 1c to almost 8c in Nov 2021. Cryptocurrency’s come and go a lot but this looked interesting to me so i decided to investigate the coin and see if it was worth mining on my current GPU mining rigs (They have Intel 3770K CPU, yes these are old but for GPU mining you dont need huge amount of processing power so i had never changed them).  If i can make some profit CPU Mining, then this would seem to be […]

Tips and Tricks

Open IE with Multiple Tabs

Daniel Hall 12th November 2025

If, like me, you have a few miners and are getting bored with opening lots of IE pages to view the interface portal, this is a handy tip for you. Its actually handy if you just need to open lots of websites on multiple tabs on one session of IE Create a new file on your desktop and call it Miners GO.js Now edit the file in Notepad and add the following text. var navOpenInBackgroundTab = 0x1000; var oIE = new ActiveXObject(“InternetExplorer.Application”); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.101/index-en.php”); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.102/index-en.php”, navOpenInBackgroundTab); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.103/index-en.php”, navOpenInBackgroundTab); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.104/index-en.php”, navOpenInBackgroundTab); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.105/index-en.php”, navOpenInBackgroundTab); oIE.Navigate2(“http://10.0.0.106/index-en.php”, navOpenInBackgroundTab); oIE.Visible = true; Here you can see I […]
